Rock 'n' roll legend Jack White has shared his sentiments towards Donald Trump’s election win in an Instagram post. He calls the former and now re-elected president a “wannabe dictator” who is “capable of: Project 2025, deportations, nationwide abortion ban, ending his own 2 term limit, backing Putin and his war, shutting down the Board of Education, adding to climate change, limiting LGBTQ rights, controlling the DOJ, keeping the minimum wage down, etc. etc. etc.. Any or all of it.”
He is stunned by the elections result: "It's absolutely dumbfounding that this con man succeeded in pulling the wool over so many Americans eyes not once, but twice." He goes further:
"The racist, impeached, convicted felon and convicted rapist who stole national secrets and hid them in his bathroom, who told us to inject bleach, who wanted to fix hurricanes with nuclear weapons, who insulted handicap people, called military veterans suckers, who incited an insurrection that invaded the nation's capital for God sakes (!!!), the failed business man who's ventures have all gone bankrupt, a fake Christian selling bibles and sneakers like a carnival side show, etc etc etc."

The White Stripe frontman's disagreements with Trump go back a long way: he was totally against Trump and his campaign team’s use of “Seven Nation Army”, threatening a lawsuit that he ended up filing alongside Meg White.
